Caruso ENGL 1103 April 4th 2012 Blackout The Movie The idea of rebellion has become frowned upon in global society over the last century. Mainly, when the younger generation finds fault in something, the elders in the world think that the youth is being ridiculous to protest something that isnt is not worth their time or effort.

People tend to think that rebelling against something you disagree with isnt is not worth their time, but you cant cannot study the Vietnam War without mentioning the hippie way of life and how they marched in Washington until the war ended. It is near impossible to study the culture of modern China without seeing a picture of the brave student who stood in front of a line of tanks to stop them from advancing toward Tiananmen Square.

Blackout is a story about that shows the pain, suffering, and struggle about fighting for something you believe in; however, when the clock runs out, and you are forced to face the truth, you hope and pray that it is the outcome you have been planning on.
Comment [T6]: Good ideas so far. I think you are headed in the right direction with this. Make sure to leave out contractions. Also, explain why you chose to make a movie and how it is different from any other movie. Advertise this movie like it is a blockbuster. Focus on clarity and strong sentence structure throughout the paper and make sure your ideas flow. You still have some things to cover. Follow the ideas in the proposal document on moodle and you should be fine.
